    Once again missed a day.
    I have SAD and had been on antidepressants for over 20 years. A year ago I made the decision to go off the meds. I think due to the rapid weight loss and hormone changes they were contributing to sleep problems. After discountinuing the meds (under dr. supervision) I returned to normal sleep patterns. Well one year later I am once again feeling the effects of SAD. I bought one of those therapy lights and have been using it for the last several days and have deffinately noticed a positive difference.

    I know this is a longer than usual post but I wanted to share my positive.

    291 - Missed a couple of days, but we were in Montreal and I did not have internet access all of the time.

    It was a wonderful weekend and we met so many wonderful people in Mark's family, more cousins than he never knew he had and their families!

    I understand and I too have a light that a friend gave me. I don't use it often as I am not in my cubicle enough these days with covering other clinics. But, I will be using it when I am there. Keep up the positive attitude!

    Using the therapy light in the morning gives me 1/2 hour to read. ☀️

    ^^Woot!

    Today I actually refused to give in to a clients demands. She and I both knew she was asking for too much. In the past I would have worked till midnight if I had to. Not today!

    294 - An 8 mile run last night, exhausted after and sore. The first 4 miles were great, but after that my miles slowed down. But still 8 completed with walking.

    New beginings are not always easy. I think it was easier to lose 100 pounds than make the decision to separate. Life will get good again.
